This is an update . . .
As I previously posted, I've bartered a deal using my 2010 and 2011 weeks at Waikiki scheduled back-to-back (wk 52 and wk1) to use an RV for two weeks (give or take) in Alaska.
I have finalized all of the details for the RV and now have our trip planned out for the 17 days (Aug 27 - Sept 12):
Fri 8/27 Fly Milwaukee to Fairbanks
Sat 8/28 P/U RV; Drive to Denali NP - camp 3 nights at TEK
Tues 8/31 Drive Denali to Talkeetna, possible flight seeing and Riverboat Tour; overnight in Talkeetna
Wed 9/1 Drive Talkeetna to Palmer; State Fair and camp there
Thurs 9/2 AM glacier tour at Knik Glacier; Drive Palmer to Ninilchik, camp two nights there
Fri 9/3 Halibut fishing charter
Sat 9/4 Drive Ninilchik to Soldotna; camp two nights there
Sun 9/5 Silver salmon fishing charter
Mon 9/6 Fly-in to Silver Salmon Creek Lodge for bear trip/overnight
Tues 9/7 Drive Soldotna to Seward; camp two nights there; Exit Glacier enroute
Wed 9/8 Kenai Fjords NP 6 hr boat tour
Thurs 9/9 Alaska Sealife (if not done before now); begin drive back to Fairbanks . . . will decide which route to take . . . the Parks Hwy (unlikely) or the Richardson (most desirable - with a side trip to Valdez)
Fri 9/10 contrinue drive back to Fairbanks
Sat 9/11 continue drive; arrive in Fairbanks mid/late afternoon;
Sun 9/12 Gold mine tour in the AM; dump RV waste & return RV, Alaskan Salmon Bake (dinner/show)
Mon 9/13 Fly home to Milwaukee.
All that's left to do is finalize the reservations and pay the deposits.
